Indian Style Vegetable Curry recipe – called vegetable kurma

Vegetable curry is very common Indian food, in a vegetarian family this dish is generally cooked at least once a week. Vegetable kurma is a very healthy food and good on proteins and very low on calories. Even in this recipe health has been kept high on priority. The more the vegetables you add the more tasty it will become. Paneer is again a optional thingy for some reason if you do not like paneer you can leave that out. This curry goes well with parantas, naans, roti or even plain white rice (but you may require rasam). This recipe should serve 4. Please provide feedback so that we can collectively improve recipes.
